On weekdays customers arrive at a hotdog street vendor at the rate of 3 per 10 minute interval. What is the probability that exactly 10 customers will arrive at the vendor for the next 30 minute.?
Added by Nicole N.
Step 1
To do this, we multiply the rate by 3 (since there are 3 intervals of 10 minutes in 30 minutes): 3 customers/10 minutes * 3 = 9 customers/30 minutes Show more…

On weekdays from 11:30 am to 2:00 pm customers arrive at a hotdog street vendor at the rate of 24 per 30 minute interval. Assume that this process can be well modeled by the Poisson distribution. (a) What is the probability that the the vendor will have a customer within 5 minutes? (b) What is the probability that the vendor will have to wait at least 3 minutes for a customer

Suppose that an average of 10 customers per hour arrive at the shop according to a Poisson process. What is the probability that the shopkeeper will have a customer within 20 minutes of opening the store? What is the probability that the shopkeeper will wait more than an hour before having three customers?

if the average of 30 customers are served per hour, what is the probability that the next customer will arrive in 3 minutes or less?
